[Android][Playlists] Automotive sort option playlist

In the Spotify app in the Android Automative software (not to be confused with Android auto app, that's different!), there is no way to choose the sort order of music in a playlist. For example, I have a playlist where I add new music every week or day. In my mobile/laptop/tablet Spotify app I can sort the newly added music at the top. In my Volvo XC40 P8 with the Android Automotive software and the included Spotify app there is no option for this. Music in the playlist is always sorted as old -> new. That's not how many users use it and is very annoying.


Please add a sort option in the Spotify app for users to choose.
Thanks!

Much needed! This is the biggest flaw of Spotify in Android Automotive as well in Android Auto. 
Now, your own playlists always start with som old number wicht you've added years ago. 
99 out of 100 times, you wan't to listen to your latest added songs. 

 

It is also an option to auto take over the sorting of your mobile app, e.g. sync your sorting to all your devices. That would even be better.

Please implement this must-have feature.

I can't understand that this is not implemented...it's a self explaining standard feature! Waiting for like 5 years now, this prevents me from using Spotify in Android Auto, since I have to use my phone to operate the Spotify App. It's a feature that can be implemeted within under an hour.

You cannot expect from the customers to search for this forum or even google the lack of the function, login/register and vote here. And stop acting like "Hey cool, thats a nice idea..."...Bruh it's not like there're only monkey's working at your company...wth!

99% of Spotify Users would vote for this function!

Is it just me, or there is no human support on this forum at all? 🙂 I don't understand what does it mean:

Hey! Looks like your idea is growing up fast and it's amazing! We are going to change its status to 'Good Suggestion' now and we hope it continues being supported by more and more users."

 

So I was just redirected from another topic to this one... which is 2,5 years old!!! And the last answer is 2 years old, saying... We appreciate your feedback - it's actually kind of funny and pathetic at the same time, ngl... 😄

Mobile app still needs sort by date added feature?
Not seeing an option to sort when at a playlist.

This is crazy. Just got a car with Android Automotive onboard. Songs in playlists are oldest first and can't even scroll down to the full bottom of the playlist. It's 100% impossible to use it like this. What is the point??? This is not a complicated feature. The android and iOS app can sort why would this not? Absolutely insane.

Any update on this...? Spotify for AAOS is still missing many features from the desktop and mobile versions.
